Outsourcing Vs. Insourcing | What’s Right For You?
If you are a busy contractor or architect, you have likely asked yourself whether outsourcing estimating is worth it. The answer is simple:
Yes!
Managing estimates in-house comes with high overhead costs, such as hiring staff and purchasing expensive software. Outsourcing to 1800 Estimating can reduce your workload and guarantee accurate results. We cater to various types of clients, such as general contractors, subcontractors, home builders, developers, vendors, and architects. It doesn’t matter if your plans are incomplete; we can still deliver precise cost estimates for feasibility purposes.
Outsourcing offers scalability, too. Whether you need one estimate or many, you only pay for what you use, making it more flexible and affordable than insourcing.
Detailed Outsourcing Construction Estimating Services
Material Takeoffs (MTO)
Accurate material takeoffs are necessary for a winning estimate. Our team measures the quantities by reading the drawings carefully. They cover all CSI divisions such as concrete, drywall, roofing, and interior exterior finishes. You get a complete Bill of Materials (BOM) that is precise and fits your project requirements.
Preliminary Estimates
If you have incomplete plans, we can deliver accurate conceptual estimates. These numbers give you a rough but reliable idea of the total project costs. Our freelance construction estimators provide precise preliminary estimating services, so you can make the right decisions.
Bid Assistance
With our bid filling and assistance, you get detailed proposals that give you a competitive edge. By outsourcing this work, you can focus on negotiations and client relationships while we handle the technical side of bidding.
Change Order Estimates
Our change order estimates allow you to quickly adjust the costs of design changes, added work, and unforeseen conditions. Change orders make sure your project stays financially aligned, preventing cost overruns.
Budget Estimates
For project owners and developers, budget estimates are important for financial planning. We give line-by-line breakdowns of materials, labor, and related costs. Our budget estimating services help you allocate resources and maintain financial stability.
Quantity Takeoffs
Outsourcing quantity takeoff services to us can be beneficial for your project. Whether it’s cubic yards of concrete, linear feet of piping, or square footage of drywall, we provide a precise Bill of Quantities (BOQ). So you can prevent waste and improve the procurement process.
Pre-Construction Estimates
As project designs progress, pre-construction estimates become vital for refining budgets. Our team works closely with contractors and developers to update cost estimates at each design stage, ensuring feasibility.

Labor and material costs vary from one state to another. So, we use modern tools like RSMeans and other cost databases. This makes sure your bid estimates use local pricing, so they match the real market conditions in your area.
